Linux file permissions look confusing at first, but the logic is actually simple.
r = 4 → Read
w = 2 → Write
x = 1 → Execute
They’re grouped into:
User | Group | Others
So rwxrw-r-x becomes:
7 | 6 | 5
That’s why you’ll often see permissions written like:
chmod 765 file.txt
Once you understand the 4-2-1 system, Linux permissions become much easier to read.
The Craziest And Saddest Thing About This Chinese Issue Is That
IT IS INEVITABLE
You cannot fight it
There is the internet
If Amazon and American retail are getting squeezed by Shein and Temu I don't think there's any momentum in Nigeria to withstand them
Already more urban customers in Nigeria are getting fixated on Temu and Shein. This will only grow because prices are fair
And for those who will say "let's manufacture our products" 😂 I laugh
Here is the simple truth. Every major factory in the global south will shutdown and bow to Chinese automation. Argue this again if you want.
Small scale manufacturing is the only pie we can eat from. Small scale fabrication. But anyone with the dreams or owning a huge factory for production in Nigeria is wasting money and time
China will swallow it. You cannot match their automation and subsidies.
We are already seeing it with Nord and Innoson. Who is buying from them? No one. Buyers will prefer a BYD which in some cases will be cheaper to Innoson or Nord.
I had recommended what should be the focus for Nigeria if we want to grow wealth. Human capital is the way out
Revamp the education system . Both vocational and academic. Knowledge is the next scarce commodity.
Knowledge will be the next gold. Applied and chiselled knowledge. That's the next gold mine. Train Nigerians for it
Pump money into academic research let's begin to own inventions, modifications and innovation. Book will save us. Only book. The era of factories is dead and gone.
Grow human capacity
Imagine the conversation went like this instead:
“Babe, that real estate investment matured last week. We made 1.7m in returns. Let’s use part of it for the school fees.”
Orrrrrr
“That Treasury Bill matured last week. Let’s use some of the proceeds to settle the fees.”
Orrrrr
“MTN paid us 1m in dividends. Should I withdraw 775k and pay it directly into the school account?”
This is the kind of conversation I want more families to eventually have.
Household income + savings + investments + assets all working towards the family’s goals.
You won’t build it overnight.
But start building the assets that can enter future family conversations.
We can go from “God will provide “ to ,
let’s withdraw from OUR family Asset Yields .
Money is A Tool.
I have passed through the rural areas, at home and abroad. All Nigeria needs is Electricity, water, and consequences(security and justice) for bad behavior, and we will be great; everything else will align.
Starting out your career in Application security is not as hard and as complicated as you think, I found my own easy way of kearning it and understanding what it entails.
Firstly finish you web fundamentals, including understanding protcols and what they do like DNS, HTTPS, SSL/TLS, FTP, SSH etc and also their port numbers.
Understand the OSI & TCP/IP Model like your career depends on it because it actually does depends on it.
Now move on to setting up your homelab (VirtualBox/ VMware), learn Linux fundamentals and know it well. This also serve as your first project, do this, document it and post it on your medium page.
Then move on next to the OWASP TOP 10, & OWASP API TOP 10, understand both and know the similarities too e.g Broken Access Control in web and BOLA in API are the same. know it and know peace.
Now move on to Burpsuite, devtools , cURL, & Postman, these are for testing & inspecting web application and APIS and all concerning testing for web and API vulnerabilities.
Resources to learn for web vulnerabilities go to https://t.co/1oWygAsuju
And to learn fully about API you move to https://t.co/sht5oXE2PJ.
Once you are done with all these above which will take couple of weeks, you can now move on to https://t.co/RGRQYJVuRF to learn about codereviewing, how to review codes for vulnerabilities in Authentication, Authorization, JWT, AI/LLMS etc.
Once all these has been done, then you will have built a depth in application security.
As my first attempt at practicing “positioning”, I’d like to introduce myself and what I do.
My name is Ikemefuna, but you can call me Ikem.
For the past 4 years, I’ve worked as a full-stack developer, mostly for clients through long and short-term contracts.
I’ve delivered projects ranging from simple UIs in React and Next.js to custom authentication systems, complex API logic, payment integrations with Stripe and Paystack, dashboards, SaaS applications, and more.
My stack:
- Frontend: React.js, Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js, Express.js, AdonisJS, Python, FastAPI
- Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Supabase
- Deployment: AWS, DigitalOcean, Vercel, Render, Netlify
A few places you can see what I’ve built:

💻 GitHub: https://t.co/uU6Wf7f1wy
If you're building a web or mobile app from scratch and need someone who can take it from idea → development → deployment, DM me.
Or if you already have a development team and need an extra capable hand to help you ship features, fix issues, or move faster, DM me.
Always open to interesting projects and opportunities. 🤝
If you're in Ibadan, Chinese have made life easier, just go to Sinomart at Palms Mall. It is owned by the Chinese.
All the 25k jeans you people buy from vendors, they are being sold for as low as 4,500 to 5000 there. Their tops and shirts are very high quality, and they are very cheap..
